Another CD-Player vs. PC question:

Could it be that those who claim their CD players skip don't handle their CDs with sufficient care? That is, skipping may be a user problem, not a problem endemic to the device. I remember being warned as a kid to avoid touching the surface of records and to instead handle them by the edge. I apply that warning to all discs.

Hmm, don't know what to say, Czarivey. I've had half a dozen CD players, mostly Sonys, and none has skipped. I did have a Sony that stopped playing the SACD layer, but a trip to Sony repair fixed that. Come to think of it, though, except for the Sony XA5400ES and Ayre C-5xeMP, all the disc players I've had have also played DVDs. I wonder . . ., but neither of those players has skipped so far.
